Robert Downey Jr because he's also Sherlock Holmes!

Robert Downey Jr because he's also Sherlock Holmes!

Agreed.  I'd love to hang with him for a day.  

[Ceasefire]

DAY FOUR WOO

 

 

On a side note, I love when I can sneak treats into my daily calories and not feel guilty about it. How was the beer? XD

[thekatisalie]

It was a Midnight Ryder by MN's Indeed Brewing. Mmmm black IPA goodness!

Is it too early for a beer?  I don't think so.  Management might have a problem with me drinking though...  Sounds good, Kat.

[Ceasefire]

I'm my own boss, but I'd make myself feel bad about having a drink at this hour. XD

[thekatisalie]

My friend works at a place that has a fully stocked bar. And they can drink whenever they want. They just cannot be drunk at work.

[Jittersthe.Clown]

Used to have a desk job where everyone in the office had a bottle or two in their bottom drawer.  It was just an excepted thing there.  I kind of miss that place...

[Ceasefire]

Oh man, that must be awesome. Fully stocked bar? Bloody Mary for breakfast?!

[goodbye_farewell]

Can't. Keep. Up. With. Challenge. Thread....

 

Seriously, good job so far, but geez at all the posts haha.

[Jittersthe.Clown]

I have liked one bloody mary in my life.  My friend makes them and they taste like steak

[thekatisalie]

They do taste like steak... Mmmm steak... Especially with cheese, beef sticks and pickles in them.

Wover! No worries, and thank you I keep just popping in on others, too

[Jittersthe.Clown]

Then I've had a lot of crappy bloody marys.  All the ones I've tasted were more like tomato.  

 

I haven't had the ones at Granite City though.  We have been to their brunch a number of times and we always get the bottomless mimosa's instead.

If you guys ever make it to NYC, this place has an amazeballs Chipotle Bourbon Bloody. Also seen in NYC (my hubbs has become a bloody fanatic), one with bacon sticking out of it + bacon salt rim, an Asian-style bloody, one with a slim jim sticking out the top and a whole host of other bourbony-bloodies. Oh, and one with beef bouillon. 

[ApfelStrudi]

The company I work for had their own beer made a while ago. Well - they ordered beer and printed their name on it. But for a while there was a truckload of beer just sitting there.

 

For a short while.

 

I work with a LOT of beer-drinking guys, it really didn't last very long.

Good job keeping up pretty lady

Ok. So I am playing with the 'What Would I Say?' thing on Facebook... And it generated me this, based on other things I have said on Facebook:

"This day has just been Robert Downey, Jr's butt in Iron Man 3.

-KatherineBot"

[Batwoman]

"This day has just been Robert Downey, Jr's butt in Iron Man 3.

I would hang out with this person.

[thekatisalie]

I only assume that means it has been a fantastic day.

Main Goal: Lose 5 pounds.

First weigh in coming atcha on Montag!
 

Goal 1: Get back to meal planning and clean eating.

All of my meals were just fine. I did have a processed snack today... Which I instantly regretted. I will dock myself a point for that. That is 2 points for today.
 

1 point per planned meal. -1 point for quick options like eating out or vending machine snacks. (126 max points)
 

Goal 2: Run. Train. Lift. Do.

Ran for the first time in two weeks today. It was great. Except my damned headphones kept falling. I should have done another mile, but I was too annoyed. Any recommendations on good running headphones? This is 1 point for today.
 

1 point per gym visit. 1 extra point for extra visits. -1 point for each day of the required 3 missed per week. (18 max points, plus extra credit)
 

Life Quest: Get that damned credit card under control and start moving on.
No credit card purchases today. Also no payments. Yet.
 

1 point per payment. -1 point per use of card. (12 max points)
 

Side Quest: Meditate. Journal.

Nothing today. Unless you call meditation passing out on the couch at 7:30.

1 point per meditation. 3 points available per week. (18 max points)
 

Goal 3: Track in My Fitness Pal every day.
I got another beer today! Farm Hand Ale from Vivant in Michigan. Also, I was again about 200-150 under my goal. MFP keeps telling me this means I will be like 156 in 5 weeks. I laugh at it and say "I'll believe it when I see it." This is 1 point for me today.
 

1 point per day tracked. -1 point per day not tracked. (42 max points)

 

Running Total: 20 points

[CactusWren]

Good job on the run!!!

 

Running gear seems to be the most problematic part of the whole thing. I use the gumy earbuds with the removable squishy bits. If I put the smallest ones on they stay in alright. They come with different sizes for different ears.

 

What I still haven't figured out yet is how to get any of my phone apps to track my progress accurately...

 

MFP keeps telling me this means I will be like 156 in 5 weeks.

 

This is what made me neurotic while tracking! Especially on cheat days, when it tells you you'll be 175 lbs in 5 weeks...

I agree....try it with a number twice that, lol.

Yes I do, it counts!

 

Goal 1: Get back to meal planning and clean eating.

All of my meals were just fine. I did have a processed snack today... Which I instantly regretted. I will dock myself a point for that.

I am assuming that this 'processed' snack was the bad kind of snack?  I know we all try to stay way from processed foods, but there are some brands out there that are not as bad as others, maybe it would help to keep some of those around?!?

 

Anyway...I think you are rocking this first week.  Keep on keepin' on!

[thekatisalie]

Bwahahaha, yeah. Tomorrow is cheat day and I can only imagine what it will say...

 

I had a pair with the squishy bits -- they keep falling out! My husband loves them... I have found on pair at Target that actually stay in... and I can't find them since my last race. ><

Maybe your squishy bits were the wrong size!? (insert cleverness here)

 

I've always wondered if the buds with the attached ear clips would be any good, but wasn't willing to pay to find out. Or the ones with the band around the back of the neck?

[mitch_dee]

I have a pair of these and I really like them.

Yes they are not the best, but they don't cost a fortune and I don't worry if I leave them at the gym or loose track of them.  Plus they are going to get sweat covered and tossed around and bounce around with my movement, so why spend a fortune on them.  The part that wraps around the ear is comfortable and makes them stay in place pretty well.
